Warning: This story contains details of an alleged sexual encounter.

A Brantford, Ont-area social worker whose clients include first responders dealing with trauma faces allegations of professional misconduct and sexual abuse after an investigation by the professional college.

Laura Dowler is accused of alleged incidents over a four-year period, the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) says in a report following its months-long investigation.

The college alleges Dowler used her "position of authority to coerce, improperly influence, harass, abuse or exploit" clients between 2019 and 2022, despite knowing they were experiencing mental health challenges.

The college determined the alleged incidents involved four clients who were counselled by Dowler at her private practice, Grand River Counselling, in Paris west of Brantford. The report does not say what prompted the college's investigation.

The discipline committee will hear the case in the coming months. A date has not yet been set.

Dowler denies the allegations and declined to comment further as the matter is before the discipline committee, her lawyer, Daniel Libman, told CBC Hamilton.

Social worker still on the job

The college's investigation is outside of any possible criminal proceedings. Brantford police said they are not actively investigating. They did not confirm if they've received complaints.

In the meantime, Dowler is allowed to continue her social work, after entering into a voluntary agreement this month that she'll be overseen by a supervisor and will let the college know where she's working, according to the college's website.

An online profile says Dowler works with clients experiencing mental health, relationship, complex trauma and dissociation issues, and specializes in clients who work as first responders. Last year, she was featured as a guest speaker at a "front-line mental health" conference organized in Brantford for police officers, paramedics and firefighters.

Dowler was an instructor at Wilfrid Laurier University's department of social work for this past school year, according to its website. A spokesperson said the university declined to comment on the investigation and Dowler is not currently teaching there.

The OCSWSSW told CBC Hamilton that any sexual contact between social workers and clients is "strictly forbidden."

"Violating professional boundaries and engaging in sexual abuse is an extremely serious form of professional misconduct," said college spokesperson Sarah Choudhury in an email.

If the discipline committee finds a social worker engaged in professional misconduct, penalties could range from a reprimand to revoking the individual's registration and ability to practise.

Clients included married couple

Two of Dowler's clients were married in 2019 when she agreed to counsel them individually and also oversee their couple sessions conducted by another therapist, according to the college discipline committee's report.

The man and woman are called Client A and Client B, respectively, in the report, which keeps the clients' identities confidential.

Dowler "engaged in sexual abuse and/or boundary-violating behaviours" with Client A without his consent, alleges the college. Dowler hugged and kissed him and rubbed his genitals through his clothing, it adds.

The college alleges Dowler went to his home late one night and wouldn't leave for hours, despite being asked. Dowler allegedly told him that if he tried to end counselling with her and didn't allow her to sexually touch him, he would be "deprived of support" and lose work benefits, the report says.

Client B previously filed a complaint against Dowler with the college in 2021, alleging Dowler was in a conflict of interest when she provided them both with individual counselling as well as overseeing their couple's counselling, among other issues, the report says.

The college decided not to refer those allegations to the discipline committee because no other complaints had ever been filed against Dowler, and she had taken steps to "mitigate" the concern, according to their decision in 2022. It was therefore not made public, but was kept on her file.

The college's report included a response letter from Dowler to Client B. Dowler denied the allegations and said she had Client B's "best interest at heart." She said she "kept everything separate" during the course of Client A's and B's counselling, and treated them "as individuals with no attachment to the other."

While investigating the most recent allegations, the college said, it found Dowler had discussed the 2021 complaint with Client A and what information he was going to provide to investigators. The college alleges Dowler used her position of authority to "coerce, improperly influence and exploit Client A."

CBC Hamilton spoke to Client B and agreed to keep her identity confidential due to the ongoing proceedings at the college and to not identify Client A — an alleged victim of sexual abuse by Dowler — without his permission.

Client B said Dowler's alleged conduct caused her immense stress and had a "brutal" impact on her mental health and marriage, which ended in divorce.

"The impacts are very far reaching," Client B said.  "You throw a stone in the pond and there's a ripple effect."

Committee hearing date to be posted later

The college also alleges Dowler had inappropriate relationships with a third person, referred to as Clients C in the report. She also failed to ensure she hadn't "exploited, coerced or manipulated intentionally or unintentionally" a fourth person, Client D.

Dowler knew of Client C's substance use, mental health concerns and difficulties in his marriage, according to the college. The report says Dowler would often have two-hour sessions with him and they engaged in a months-long sexual relationship.

It also says Client D was struggling with emotional issues, stress and anger while receiving counselling from Dowler, and that she violated boundaries by exchanging texts and gifts.

With these clients, Dowler had incomplete clinical records that didn't include the text messages exchanged, clinical assessments or treatment plans, the college says. She also allegedly provided deleted and altered text messages to the college investigator.

The college told CBC Hamilton it first attempts to negotiate an agreement before setting a hearing date, which will be posted to its website.

[sarpedon]

the push online to reduce the stigma around mental illness has created a strange group of undergrads who seem unaware that there still very much is a stigma around mental illness. i have students email me casually telling me their diagnosis, telling me they need an assignment extension because their anti anxiety medication refill was delayed, telling me they discussed something with their therapist, that they are getting assessed for ADHD, etc etc etc.

dont do that. dont tell me that. dont tell any of your TAs or instructors these sorts of things.

what if i suck? what if i think ADHD is a fake condition that people only get diagnosed with cuz they want drugs? what if i think people who think they have anxiety or depression are just weak snowflakes who cant handle the real world? provide as little information as you can get away with.

i dont know how it works in other countries but here (ontario, canada) most universities have some form of student accessibility services. theyre not great usually, but what they do is act as a go between. so you tell SAS your diagnosis and what accommodations you need, and then they come to us and say "this student needs this accommodation." and we dont ever know why. we also arent allowed to ignore it.

you tell me you need an extension because your ADHD meds ran out? you run the risk of 1) me not giving you the extension, and 2) me deciding you're a lazy ass who cant handle academia and marking you extremely harshly for the rest of the term.

dont open yourself up to that.

nice to meet you

Hi, I’m Jenny and welcome to my blog. In this post, I want to share with you some of the highlights and challenges of my life so far, and how I’m trying to find my purpose and happiness in this world.

I’m almost 34 years old and still struggling to figure out my life. Aren't we all? I’ve gone to school for a diploma program in Medical Laboratory Technician/Phlebotomy, a diploma program for Accounting Technician, and started my Human Resource Management diploma program too. I’ve always wanted to be an RN but, life and my body had other plans for me. I’ve always been interested in learning new things and pursuing different careers, and I've finally found one which fulfills me. I have a really good job now, but I’m not really supposed to talk about what I do so I’m going to leave that part out, but it’s finally something I’m good at and something I enjoy doing. It pays well and gives me flexibility and stability. It also challenges me and allows me to use my skills and creativity.

I have a husband who I’ve been with for 10 years now. Jason has helped me grow into a much better person and loves me unconditionally. He supports me in everything I do and encourages me to follow my dreams. I have 2 stepsons who have given me a run for my money but I still love them both at the end of the day. They are growing up so fast and I’m proud of the young men they are becoming. After an incredibly challenging fertility journey, I have my almost 5 year old daughter who is bright, caring, funny, and wise beyond her years. She is the light of my life and the reason I smile every day. I always tell her she saved my life, and it's true, but I won't tell her how until she's much older.

I have a passion for traveling and exploring new places. We try to do a big family vacation once a year and just this year decided that one trip a year should be spent nurturing our relationship. I love animals and have two dogs and three cats who keep me company and make me laugh. I’m on a journey to self love after spending my entire life as an overweight underdog. I’ve struggled with my body image and self-esteem for as long as I can remember, but I’m learning to accept myself and love myself for who I am. I have a daughter now, and I owe it to her to be kind to myself as the way I behave in front of her will be a reflection of how she treats her own body.

I live with many invisible illnesses both mentally and physically but try my best to get through every day. Some of the conditions I deal with are anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, insulin resistent PCOS, Chronic Kidney Disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraines, and more. Yeah, I know, it fucking sucks. But, I'm definitely not here to gain pity for my health problems. By looking at me, you'd think the only problem I'd had in my life was enjoying one too many cheeseburgers. Some days are better than others, but some days are really hard. I try to be positive and optimistic, but sometimes I feel hopeless and overwhelmed. I’m grateful for the support of my family, friends, doctors, therapists, and online communities who help me cope and understand that I’m not alone.

I grew up in Guelph, Ontario and ventured back to Sudbury, Ontario after leaving my now ex-husband which was the best decision I’ve ever made. He was an interesting choice to say the least, and for the longest time I felt so trapped. It took me a long time to gather the courage to leave him, but when I did, I felt free and empowered. It was a turning point in my life that led me to meet my current husband and start a new chapter.

I’m thankful for this beautiful life I live. It’s not perfect, but it’s mine. And it’s full of love, laughter, learning, adventure, growth, gratitude, and hope. Thank you for reading this post even though you're probably rolling your eyes at yet another new overnight brainchild. But I'm going to try to use this as an outlet to heal and grow from the shit life throws my way, and hopefully inspire others to do the same along the way.

Exploring Virtual Therapy: The Future of Mental Health Support in Ontario

In recent years, the world has seen a significant shift towards digital solutions, and mental health care is no exception. For residents in Ontario, virtual therapy has emerged as a vital resource for those seeking psychological support from the comfort of their homes. With the rise of virtual therapist options in Ontario, individuals can access professional guidance through virtual psychotherapy, which has proven effective for many. By utilizing technology, Ontario Therapists are breaking down barriers to mental health care, offering flexibility and convenience, while ensuring that clients receive the same level of support they would in traditional in-person sessions.

Virtual psychotherapy Ontario is designed to cater to a diverse range of mental health needs. Whether one is dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or other mental health concerns, virtual therapists offer a tailored approach to treatment. Utilizing various platforms such as video calls, chat, or phone sessions, clients can choose the method that best suits their comfort level, making therapy more accessible than ever before. This flexibility removes geographical limitations, allowing individuals from rural areas or those with mobility challenges to connect with experienced professionals across the province.

One of the most significant advantages of engaging with a virtual therapist in Ontario is the emphasis on privacy and confidentiality. The online environment allows clients to engage in therapy without the need to travel to a clinic, which can sometimes feel daunting. This increased level of comfort can lead to more open and honest conversations, thereby enhancing the therapeutic relationship. Additionally, virtual psychotherapy sessions are conducted using secure platforms that prioritize client confidentiality, ensuring that personal information remains protected.

Another key benefit of virtual therapy in Ontario is the diversity of therapy styles and specialties available to clients. Ontarians can now easily find therapists who specialize in various areas, from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to mindfulness-based approaches and even EMDR therapy. This wealth of options allows individuals to select a therapist who resonates with their specific needs and goals. It also means that scheduling can be more convenient, as many virtual therapists offer flexible hours, accommodating busy lifestyles.

As mental health continues to gain recognition as a crucial aspect of overall well-being, Ontario therapists are taking proactive steps to ensure their practices remain relevant in an ever-evolving landscape. Many professionals have adapted their methods to include online tools, resources, and techniques that are effective even in virtual settings. This commitment to innovation ensures clients receive the highest quality of care, regardless of where they are participating from.

Moreover, studies have shown that virtual psychotherapy Ontario can be just as effective as traditional face-to-face therapy for a wide array of mental health issues. Research indicates that clients often experience reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression even after just a few sessions online. This evidence reinforces the notion that seeking help does not necessitate a physical presence, and that virtual therapists in Ontario can provide substantial support and guidance.

It's essential for Ontarians considering virtual therapy to do thorough research and ensure they choose a licensed professional. Platforms that vet their therapists or provide thorough backgrounds can assist in finding qualified practitioners who align with clients’ therapeutic needs. Many therapists also offer an initial consultation for free, allowing clients to assess compatibility without commitment.

In conclusion, the rise of virtual therapists in Ontario represents a significant advancement in mental health care, making psychotherapy accessible and convenient. Through virtual psychotherapy, Ontario Therapists are meeting the diverse needs of their clients, ensuring that support is just a click away. As we move forward, embracing these digital solutions will play a vital role in fostering mental health awareness and providing necessary support for individuals across the province. Whether you're facing challenges or simply seeking personal growth, consider exploring virtual therapy options that Ontario has to offer – you’re not alone on this journey.

Imma tell you guys right now though, “companies make better security” is never gonna be the answer. They can’t employ even half as many people as those who will be actively trying to break any system they build

Human error is always going to be a problem, because humans are involved in the system and computers can only use what you put in

They can’t tell if it’s you typing your password, your mom you gave it to, or a rando in the street who bought it online without some kind of check

It’s still a major problem for MFA and 2FA to be as phone dependent as they are, but the solution is gonna be a lot more complicated than you may think

Face ID is not reliable, and there’s a reason Apple abandoned fingerprint ID. The actual easiest way to solve the phone problem would literally be free government subsidised phones, and that still won’t help disabled folks

Even if your MFA is set up with two email accounts instead of a phone, you still need access to at least one of them. Forget both passwords? Bye

And you’re still switching between devices

One of the fun and exciting things the Ontario government used to do was give everyone a tiny little device to clip to their keys that you press the button and it gives you a string of digits for your MFA

Guess what happened A Lot?

People fucking lost them

Human error can NEVER be eliminated from a computer system because the second you think “no one would ever fuck that up” 10 million people will prove you wrong

And this is why where I work we have a popup function to make people pinky promise they know what happens when they delete a file

Guess why

Accessibility NEEDS to be part of the conversation around these types of developments, but the part that sucks the most is… it beats the alternative

My partner doesn’t own a phone, I need to be physically beside him for him to log into his bank and to get the bank to use my phone number we had to go in, in person, before we could get his government ID renewed during COVID, to prove it was him

The poor poor teller then tried to offer him a credit card as consolation for him not legally existing, and this is the fun part that actually isn’t related to his disabilities

He doesn’t exist on bank servers

He can’t apply for any credit card ever, even with all the ID up to date

So trust me, I’m not downplaying how much 2FA and MFA suck

I also have the ADHD, and according to my therapist I have somehow acquired ALL the types of ADHD

I’ve just worked in software long enough to understand the alternatives currently still suck just the tiniest bit more

But if you want a super fucking secure password, use a suffix, and make that suffix an acronym and some numbers

So, if your suffix is: I Hate Passwords 1234

It becomes ihp1234

And your facebook password can be: YourName-ihp1234

It’s an easy way to have a secure password that you’ll remember, and you can use different ones for each website that pertain to the website

So your facebook password can be: FB-ihp1234

And your tumblr can be: tumblr-ihp1234

Some sites will have special key requirements that force you to have something like a ! Or ?

Some sites will not allow you a password with those same keys

It’s a fuckery, but having a formula at least narrows down the process of creating a new password when you forget the old one, and no one else is gonna guess it without your help

resharing this oldie because i just got a new laptop and the number of times i am being required to login to things, login to a DIFFERENT app/program/password manager/authenticator, provide a number, and then login again is making me fucking INSANE

Finding the Right Physiotherapist in Downtown Toronto: Key Considerations

Physiotherapy is a non-evasive therapy that focuses on restoring and improving physical function, mobility, and overall well-being. It includes exercises, manual therapy, and education to treat various conditions, including injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgery recovery. Physiotherapy is beneficial for individuals of all ages, promoting rehabilitation and improving the quality of life by empowering patients to regain independence in their daily activities and achieve optimal physical health.

Choosing the right physiotherapist in downtown Toronto is essential for effective recovery and overall wellness. With a range of clinics and professionals to choose from, knowing what to look for can make the process of finding a physiotherapist less overwhelming. In this blog let’s look at key considerations to help you make an informed decision.

How To Find the Best Downtown Toronto Physiotherapy?

Research and Select: If you are wondering how do I find a good physiotherapist the very first thing is to conduct thorough research online and find options, or ask for references from friends and family, after getting sufficient options start verifying and shortlisting

Credentials and Experience: Then check for the credentials and ensure the physiotherapist is registered with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario. This guarantees they meet professional standards and have the necessary training. Also look at their experience, especially in treating your specific condition. For example, if you’re recovering from a sports injury, finding the best physiotherapy in Toronto specializing in sports injury is advisable

Services Offered: Downtown Toronto physiotherapy services often provide a variety of services, if you require specific treatments like post-operative rehabilitation or pelvic floor physiotherapy in Toronto, ensure the clinic offers these specialized services. For convenience look for a clinic with a multidisciplinary team, such as chiropractors and massage therapists, that can provide holistic care under one roof

Location and Accessibility:  Consider clinics near your home or workplace, and check for accessible hours, parking, or public transit options. Since physiotherapy typically involves multiple sessions, a conveniently located clinic in downtown Toronto can save time and effort

Reputation and Reviews: Look for clinics with consistently positive feedback regarding professionalism, effective treatment, and patient care, so check for online reviews and testimonials for valuable insights

Personalized Treatment Plans: A good physiotherapist takes the time to understand your needs and creates a personalized treatment plan. So while finding a physiotherapist assess their communication style and willingness to address your concerns during your initial consultation

Cost and Insurance Coverage: Physiotherapy costs can vary, so inquire about pricing upfront. Many clinics accept insurance plans or offer direct billing to insurers, making payment easier, but if you’re paying out of pocket, look for options that balance affordability with quality care

Technology and Facilities: Clean, well-maintained facilities also reflect a clinic’s commitment to quality care, and look for clinics that use advanced equipment like shockwave therapy, ultrasound machines, or motion analysis tools for precise diagnosis and treatment.

Trial Session: If you’re uncertain, consider booking a single session to evaluate the clinic and therapist, assess their approach and expertise, and whether you feel comfortable discussing your health concerns with them

To conclude finding the right physiotherapist in Downtown Toronto involves evaluating credentials, services, accessibility, and patient experience. So take your time to research and consult before committing. The best physiotherapy can significantly impact your recovery, ensuring long-term wellness and mobility.

Burnout Therapist with Professional Support: Insights from Janine Ruddy & Associates

In today’s fast-paced world, burnout has become an all-too-common struggle. The overwhelming demands of work, personal responsibilities, and societal expectations can lead to physical and emotional exhaustion. For those experiencing these challenges, seeking the guidance of a burnout therapist can be life-changing. At Janine Ruddy & Associates, we specialize in helping individuals overcome burnout and regain control of their lives.

In this blog, we’ll explore the signs of burnout, its impact on mental health, and how professional therapy can support recovery. Whether you’re searching for the best psychotherapist near me, virtual therapists near me, or considering virtual psychotherapy in Ontario, this comprehensive guide will address your needs.

Understanding Burnout: What Is It?

Burnout is a state of chronic stress that manifests in physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. Unlike ordinary tiredness, burnout leaves individuals feeling depleted, detached, and unable to perform basic daily tasks effectively. Common causes include:

Prolonged work stress

Imbalance between effort and reward

Overwhelming caregiving responsibilities

Lack of personal time

These factors can lead to feelings of inadequacy, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Left untreated, burnout can escalate to severe mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, or even physical illnesses.

Why Work with a Burnout Therapist?

A burnout therapist specializes in helping individuals identify the root causes of their stress and develop actionable strategies to recover. At Janine Ruddy & Associates, we provide personalized support tailored to your unique experiences.

Key Benefits of Therapy:

Identifying Triggers: A therapist helps uncover the underlying factors contributing to burnout, such as perfectionism, lack of boundaries, or excessive workload.

Rebuilding Confidence: Therapy helps individuals regain their sense of purpose and self-worth, fostering resilience for future challenges.

Holistic Support: Whether it’s addressing related conditions like ADHD or exploring long-term goals, therapy provides a well-rounded approach to healing.

Persistent fatigue, even after rest

Lack of motivation or interest in activities

Increased irritability or mood swings

Trouble concentrating or making decisions

Virtual Physiotherapy in Ontario: Transforming Rehabilitation for All Ages

Virtual physiotherapy is quickly becoming a preferred choice for many people across Ontario who are looking for accessible, convenient, and cost-effective treatment options. From Mississauga to smaller towns and rural areas, Ontario residents are discovering the many benefits of online physiotherapy, which offers a modern approach to rehabilitation for all ages.

Why Ontario is Embracing Virtual Physiotherapy

Ontario is home to a diverse population, including large urban centers and rural communities, where access to healthcare can vary. In cities like Toronto and Mississauga, residents may have many options for in-person physiotherapy, but this isn’t always the case for those living in more remote areas. Virtual physiotherapy in Missisauga solves this problem by making professional physiotherapy services available to everyone, regardless of location. Whether you’re in a rural town or in the heart of Ontario, virtual physiotherapy breaks down geographic barriers to ensure that all residents have access to the care they need.

What You Can Expect from Virtual Physiotherapy in Ontario

Comprehensive Assessments A typical virtual physiotherapy session in Ontario begins with a comprehensive assessment. Your therapist will ask about your symptoms, medical history, and goals. Through video calls, they will observe your posture, movement, and range of motion, using these insights to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Customized Treatment Plans Whether you're recovering from surgery, dealing with an injury, or managing chronic pain, virtual physiotherapy provides customized care. Your therapist will design a treatment plan based on your assessment, providing you with exercises and stretches to perform at home. Many physiotherapists in Ontario use video demonstrations, written instructions, and even apps to guide you through your exercises and track your progress.

Education and Self-Management In addition to guiding you through exercises, your physiotherapist will provide education to help you manage your condition independently. This might include lifestyle modifications, tips on improving posture, or advice on injury prevention. Virtual physiotherapy empowers patients to take control of their rehabilitation, giving them the tools they need to succeed.

Affordable and Accessible For Ontario residents, virtual physiotherapy is often more affordable than traditional clinic visits. With fewer overhead costs and no travel expenses, virtual sessions can be a cost-effective solution for people with chronic conditions or those requiring ongoing rehabilitation.

Ongoing Monitoring and Support Virtual physiotherapy allows for regular follow-ups to monitor your progress. Whether you need to adjust your treatment plan or require additional support, your therapist is just a click away. This continuous care ensures that you stay motivated and on track with your rehabilitation goals.

Conclusion: A Better Way to Access Physiotherapy

Virtual physiotherapy in Ontario offers residents a better way to access care without the barriers of distance, cost, or time constraints. Whether you're in a large urban area like Toronto or a smaller community, the ability to connect with skilled physiotherapists through digital platforms has revolutionized the way rehabilitation is approached. By offering convenience, certifications, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness, virtual physiotherapy is transforming healthcare and making it easier for people to recover, stay active, and live pain-free.

Prioritize Your Mental Health Today

Mental health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being, yet accessing quality care can sometimes feel like a hurdle. Thankfully, technology has revolutionized how we approach therapy, with online psychotherapy becoming a readily available option in Ontario, including Ottawa. This blog delves into the benefits and considerations of online therapy, along with highlighting Ottawa-based therapy options, both online and in-person.

Online Therapy: Bridging the Gap to Mental Wellness

Online psychotherapy Ontario , also known as teletherapy, leverages technology to offer therapy sessions remotely through video conferencing platforms. This innovative approach presents several advantages:

Convenience and Accessibility: Online therapy allows you to attend sessions from the comfort of your home or any chosen location with a secure internet connection. This eliminates travel time and provides flexibility for busy schedules.

Reduced Stigma: Online therapy can feel less intimidating for some individuals, especially those struggling with social anxiety or transportation limitations.

Wider Range of Therapists: Online platforms can connect you with therapists specializing in specific areas, even if they're located outside your immediate area.

Improved Cost-Effectiveness: Online therapy can sometimes be more affordable than traditional in-person sessions due to reduced overhead costs.

Is Online Therapy Right for You?

While online therapy offers numerous benefits, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. Here's how to determine if it's a good fit for you:

Technology Comfort Level: Do you feel comfortable engaging in video calls and using online platforms?

Internet Connection: A reliable internet connection is necessary for uninterrupted and secure online sessions.

Privacy Considerations: Ensure you understand the platform's privacy policies and security measures.

Nature of Your Needs: For individuals experiencing severe mental health conditions or complex trauma, in-person therapy might be recommended.

Ottawa Therapy: Exploring Local Options

Ottawa boasts a vibrant community of skilled therapists, offering in-person and online therapy services. Whether you choose online or in-person sessions, here are some factors to consider:

Areas of Expertise: Find a therapist specializing in the specific challenges you're facing, such as anxiety, depression, or relationship issues.
